Category	Points Possible	Points Earned	Comments
Approved Paper Topic (from Week 1 Assignment)	5	5
Page numbers in Hood textbook on your topic	10	9	Mary, 408-415 are very good pages to use. There is no significant PCC info on page 251.
Reference for Journal Article	25	7	Mary, you have not provided a reference in APA format as required for both the Professional Paper Worksheet and later for the Professional Paper. This needs much work prior to your paper. See page 198 in the Manual for example, as well as syllabus and lesson references. Keep working on APA format! NR351: Transitions in Professional Nursing Paper.
Quotation and Citation	20	14	Mary, you copied the words mostly correctly, but you had 2 errors in your copying. Please remember that all words and punctuation must be copied exactly from the source. There should be end quotation marks after the last quoted word, not after the parenthetical citation. Initials and journal name should not be used in citation. Yours should be: …and necessary” (Riley, White, Graham, & Alexandrov, 2014, p. 319). Mary, please notice format, spacing, and punctuation. This needs much work prior to your paper.
Paraphrased Area and Citation	25	16	Mary, your paraphrase of the above quotation did not adequately represent the authors’ ideas from the quote. You have introduced new ideas not in the original quote (well informed patient, optimizing care, patient satisfaction). Be very cautious that you accurately represent the ideas of the authors and don’t add more. Mary, the citation is not in APA format. Your citation should have been as follows: Riley et al. (2014) claimed that…. NR351: Transitions in Professional Nursing Paper. See page 177 of the Manual for format for first citation of a source versus subsequent citation of the same source based on the number of authors. Mark this page as you’ll use it often!
Professional Paper Outline	40	35	Good start, Mary. Look for a better statement of importance for the introduction. Be sure to use information from your 2 required sources to write your paper. See below. While your main topics are fine, stay focused on PCC rather than communication. You have listed communication in both main topics, but I suggest you remove and replace it in the second main topic. Since your second main topic is Effective, including breakdown does not match with that main topic. Revision needed. Do not use first person in your paper. The Conclusion will be easier to write when you have focused on those main points and focused on facts from your sources. Do not introduce new information in the conclusion. Your summary statement is not clear. Remember that prior knowledge and opinion are not part of this paper; information should come from (and be cited to) the 2 approved sources. I know you can write a great paper!
